Do I Need an Electrician to Install LED Tubes?

For Plug and Play (Type A) LED tubes, installation is usually as easy as replacing the old tube, meaning no electrician is needed if your fixture and ballast are compatible. However, always double-check that the ballast type is listed as compatible on the LED tube packaging.

Ballast Bypass (Type B) tubes, on the other hand, require safe disconnection of the existing ballast, which involves electrical work. In these cases, it is highly recommended to hire a qualified electrician to ensure the job is performed safely and in accordance with UK wiring regulations.
